Gravitational Wave Detection and Fundamental Physics in Space: Foreword

Abstract

This article is a foreword for the special issue on Gravitational Wave Detection and Fundamental Physics in Space for International Journal of Physics D. In the foreword, we review briefly the history of the development of mission concepts and projects for the gravitational wave detection in space together with fundamental physics missions. We summarize briefly the gravitational-wave detection-in-space science goals and the current progress in the experimental & technological developments presented in the articles of this special issue, and list the articles with publication information and arXiv numbers.
